Thank you for all your responses to Boys and Men Healing. We did this filmbecause I'm a mother with a young boy, and also a filmmaker. I felt the calling to bring this issue to light, and help men sexually abused as boys to have a voice. We just found out Tony, one of the men in our film, will be on the panel of the Oprah Show which airs November 5th. I believe that this decade is the time for much needed change, and time for justice.

With all the outreach we are doing to use the film to make change, I am inspired by so many men I have met who are the most amazing individuals who are so brave and so real. I have also been inspired by how men are helping one another to heal, who bring much hope and strength to one another.

In spite of all the progress that I have made over these past three years, I still had a difficult time watching the clip. It appears that Kathy Barbari did a wonderful job presenting the material in a caring and compasionate manner. Hearing and seeing the pain that others have experienced is very moving and powerful. It is so easy to sometimes place your own pain out- of- sight and out-of- mind, that is, until you witness the pain of others. Then, it all comes rushing back again.
